I would say either the leveler or the carb plate would be a good idea. But I would not pull the trans with it. Especially if the intake bolts do not thread deep into the alum. head. Hate to see anything bad happen like it did to me. Stripped the threads right out. Liked to laid down and cried when that 400 b-block fell 4 feet. <img src="graemlins/pain.gif" border="0" alt="[pain]" />
